Episode Info

Episode Info: I’m so excited to present this episode with, Anthony Zhang, who was the founder of EnvoyNow, a USC food delivery application. I first read about Anthony’s story in Fortune, where Anthony was a Thiel Fellow, Shark Tank Alum, in 500 Startups but went through a traumatic accident that left him paralyzed from the neck down… Anthony has been doing a lot better since, and managed to sell his start-up while going through hours of physical therapy a day. His grit and passion is to say the least inspiring, and I hope that you enjoy the episode.
* Could you please give a brief background of yourself?
* What made you decide to start EnvoyNow instead of pursuing investment banking or consulting?
* What was it like to pitch Mark Cuban at USC for Shark Tank?
* When did you know that you were going to win the Thiel fellowship?
* How does the Thiel Fellowship work?
* Transitioning to your accident, could you touch upon what happened, your thoughts, and what helped you persevere and get through the difficult times?
* What gave you motivation to recover, any support systems you relied on, I’m curious what people strive towards or rely on during times of great difficulty?
* How long did it take you to get better?
